yes we have the puppie food and the kibble is small- they do a standard size for adult but not a larger size for puppies...........shame

I am going to email them as I think they need to make a larger kibble for giant breeds. Spoke to their vet the other day and she said to keep my pups on this tiny kibble until 6 months of age, which is not possible at that size. Perhaps if enough of us with giant breeds mention it they might make a suitable kibble!

Hi there!

I'm also interested in this food for Han - and also intend to e-mail them about kibble size - but I think I may try and get hold of a sample of their standard size kibble first as the puppy size is not relevant for Han!

One question that comes to my mind is the use of potato starch in this and some other complete foods.

When I started out with Bernards about 12 years ago, I was told that 'potato should never be given'! It was never explained WHY! Do you know anything about this? I'd be really interested to know what could have been behind that!

Could you give me the contact details of the person you e-mailed so that I can launch my 'kibble size attack' on the same person for maximum effect!!! Thanks!

fish4dogs will be doing a large kibble for puppies

droolakiss how are your puppies doing on fish4dogs?

ive given my cat there salmon moose pouches and she loves them, when on special offer of bogof for the big boxes it worked out at 18p per pouch much better than what we normally get her at 69p per pouch

same price for the puppy pouches aswell!

fish4dogs told us conflicting information on mixing the adult food and to use greedy gulper dishes because of the small kibble size! who told you they will be making a large kibble? the last they told me was they are a small company and if you dont like it go away basically so we switched to eukanuba

they seamed nothing but nice every time i call,

i dont know the name of who said it but it was just the lady who takes my order, she didnt say large kibble she said standard kibble instead of the small puppie klibble, so it would be the size of the standard food which is fine to me!

shame its gone a different route for you ive just brought some oil from them aswell on offer working out very cheap compared to normal prices!

Hi there!!

I'm trying the adult fish for dogs with Hannibal.

He's been having a very small amount of the adult salmon with his normal food and will now be trying the sardine version - which I'm introducing extremely gradually as they have warned that it is very rich.

I find the adult/standard size kibble acceptable from a size point of view - it's lovely and crunchy and Hannibal certainly seemed to enjoy the salmon.

Sorry to hear that the Droolakiss experience of f4d has not been so good!
